Love of Music
Inscription: IF MUSIC BE THE FOOD OF LOVE PLAY ON
These four characterful musicians are based on medieval stone carvings found in Beverley Minster in Yorkshire. From top right and going clockwise the men are playing: a lute, two horns, a hurdy-gurdy and a tambourine. The Minster has over 70 stone and wood carvings depicting 20 different instruments, believed to be the world’s largest collection of carvings of this type. ‘If music be the food of love play on’ is Duke Orsino’s opening line at the beginning of Shakespeare’s comedy play ‘Twelfth Night’.
Fixing Points: one hole at the top of the centre column
Dimensions: 10cm x 10cm

Imperfect tiles are slightly below the high standards of our perfect tiles. These tiles are a great way to add to your collection and saves £6 per tile against the price of perfect tiles. An imperfect tile will have a small defect of some kind, such as a crack or surface blemish. A crack will not be easy to spot from the front but is likely to be more obvious from the back. You are welcome to contact us before purchasing an imperfect tile to ask about the defects.
